_*WHY MOTHERS CRY*_

"Why are you crying?" he asked his mom. "Because I'm a mother," she toldhim. "I don't understand," he said. His mom just hugged him and said, "Younever will!"

Later the little boy asked his father why Mother seemed to cry for noreason. "All mothers cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why mothers cry.So he finally put in a call to God and when God got on the phone the mansaid, "God, why do mothers cry so easily?" God said, "You see son, when I made mothers they had to be special. I madetheir shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentleenough to give comfort. I gave them an inner strength to endure childbirthand the rejection that many times come from their children. I gave them ahardiness that allows them to keep going when everyone else gives up, andto take care of their families through sickness and fatigue withoutcomplaint. I gave them the sensitivity to love their children under allcircumstances, even when their child has hurt them very badly. This samesensitivity helps them to make a child's owee feel better and helps themshare a teenager's anxieties and fears."

"I gave them a tear to shed. It's theirs exclusively to use whenever it'sneeded. It's their only weakness. It's a tear for all mankind."
